Toilet drain "collar" too low?

People,

removed the toilet to put new wax. There was seepage from old one. Noticed the "collar" to which the 2 brasss bolts hook onto is flush with concrete slab. Isnt this too low? The room had thin vinyl tile. Hoping to put nicer ceramic, but that would make the top of the collar too low(?)

be careful if you use a flange adapter (the type that slides into pipe with rubber seal) for a three inch pipe and it sits on top of tile some toilet horns are bigger and it will sit on flange and toilet will rock

A jumbo wax ring is a safe way to get a good seal---however ,if you want to raise the flange---use one that overlays the old one and screw in----as you were warned in the post above---the 3" push in ones are a problem===
